Working with limited budgets and a seemingly endless pipeline of new technology tools, applications and equipment to test out and possibly implement, today's K-12 IT directors have a lot on their plates right now. Add Common Core State Standards and growth of mobile devices on campus to the equation and the task of balancing student and teacher needs with available resources becomes that much more daunting.

A non-profit organization that's working to help school districts create student portals to allow for the integration and reporting of data for school-related purposes has teamed up with two technology companies to ensure that the student records under its management are securely maintained.

IT Trends is packed with the latest information about networking, databases, hardware, developer tools, data security, wireless, virtualization and cloud computing. Targeted toward K-12 IT professionals at the district and school levels, IT Trends also offers up project profiles, case studies, interviews and articles focusing on best practices in information technology. It's published twice monthly.
